Mozambique Energy For All (ProEnergia)

closed

The objective of the Energy for All (ProEnergia) Project is to increase access to electricity service in Mozambique. There are three components to the project, the first component being peri-urban and rural electrification. This component will finance the design, procurement of materials and construction works required to electrify all participating households and businesses in the project target areas with high population density, located close to existing electricity networks (in peri-urban and rural areas). EDM and GoM have identified over 500 settlements to be electrified in approximately 20 districts across the country. The site identification has been made based on the technical requirements and load profiles. The final selection of the sites will be confirmed by the geospatial electrification tool (currently under development) based on a least cost approach. About 74 percent of those settlements are in rural areas. The component is expected to connect around 250,000 households, of which 185,000 are in rural areas and 65,000 in peri-urban areas. It is expected that nearly 50 percent of new connections are made in the five poorest provinces of Mozambique, Niassa, Nampula, Zambezia, Cabo Delgado and Sofala. More than 85,000 connections are expected to be made in Nampula. The second component is the off-grid electrification. This component includes two subcomponents: mini-grids, and off-grid results-based financing. Finally, the third component is the technical assistance and implementation support. This component includes two subcomponents: technical assistance to EDM, and technical assistance to FUNAE.
